Dr Dan Krishnan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I honestly can’t say enough positive things about Dr Krishnan. I’d seen several GPs and gynos with so many tests and two laparoscopies and even went down the path of seeing a colorectal specialist (with subsequent colonoscopy) without any clear answers or direction. I was desperate, I hadn’t been able to work for a year as I was in so much pain and by luck found Dr Krishnan via a search online as my last laparoscopy had shown complex adhesions (for which I was told “not my specialty” but was given zero advice to get help). Thankfully the gyno had taken video which I was able to share with Dr Krishnan. He took immediate action and also said the possible adenomyosis that had been flagged previously was quite likely. I ended up having a major procedure with Dr Krishnan and his colleagues. He removed my uterus (which was the size of someone 4 months pregnant due to adenomyosis), and removed complex adhesions that spanned the size of a dinner plate all via robotic surgery. It took 6 hours, but I was moving around that night and was walking the hallway at the hospital with confidence two days later. Dr Krishnan literally changed my life, and as an extension the lives of my 7 year old daughter and husband. I had been pretty much bed-bound prior to seeing him. I’m now fully recovered, kicking the soccer ball with my daughter’s team. He listens with true compassion and acts quickly to help. I genuinely can’t recommend him enough. He’s a true advocate and ally for women facing gynaecological issues.

Endocrinologist

The specialist was a gentleman and very friendly with whom I have seen for many years but I was left with more questions then answers to be honest with no follow up offered and basically left for me to pursue my options on my last visit. It gave me a sense of security knowing I was being monitored for the past few years and although complex felt the specialist at least showed a concern were monitoring was offered. After yesterday, I felt I couldn't have been shown the door quick enough even to the point I was still asking questions as I was being walked to the door. I believe given the fee charged, it would be justified if I was given the opportunity to have left with most of my questions at least having been heard and a plan put in place moving forward to continue monitoring me. Left the clinic with lots of hypertheticals and maybe's but no direction and told that's it. Feeling very beaten and unsure on how to now continue on or with whom to follow up with. I felt like my case/results were no longer wanted to be dealt with.

I found this procedure much more painful than last injection. I was given local anaesthetic then with no wait time had the needle placed in back without waiting for local to work, was inserted straight after local. Was much more painful and I had to remain still while being in pain as the needle went in my back. Previous injection I had done with Dr Fernando, he waited one minute before placing needle in my back and was basically painless. If this was my first experience I’m not sure I’d come back. I’ll make sure to book in with Dr Fernando if I should need another injection. Otherwise, staff were friendly.

Dr. Blake Fidock

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I waited 2 minutes only before the doctor called me in for the appointment. The waiting room was comfortable (coffee factories etc too!) Dr Fidock explained everything thoroughly and gave me options for care. I walked away with printed details and useful information I have also 24 hrs later been told that surgery can be completed 3 days after the initial consultation. I feel very supported. Thankyou.

Complete Gastro Health

Gastroenterology

It was generally easy and friendly. One point however is the "waiting room." Looking at photos of eyeballs or truams before any medical proceedure fills people like me, that live with phobias of seeing injured eyes. With dread. Had to close my eyes to the pictures on the wall. It would be better to have happy photos of people, flowers or animals. More pleasing to the eyes (no pun intended).

Absolutely fabulous staff, the only suggestion is if focus can provide bulk billing at Cessnock , why can’t they provide that service at Wallsend and warners bay. My mum was ok because she has me however others aren’t so lucky and would have to pay at Wallsend the over $400 fee. This change would make your company community leaders in health care and an even more fabulous service .

Dr Cheng He

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

surgery went well, clear communication from medical team about what to expect and aims of surgery. Multiple opportunities to ask questions. Was followed up regularly. The only thing I would wish different is more.attention regarding pain relief on discharge - the pain was significant and truly outlasted the amount dispensed. I do have a low pain threshold - so Ive been told.

Dr Jeffrey Tu

Gastroenterologist

The experience was positively enhanced by the professional approach by all staff, from reception, check in nurse, bedside nurse, anesthetist & her assistant, surgeon, recovery nurses and post op release instructions. I was impressed by the surgeon's explanation of the outcome of the procedure and the documentation/photos provided after his discussion with me.

GIH Access Endoscopy

Gastroenterology

All staff were so calming and friendly and the whole clinic was so well operated. In particular Helen the admitting nurse was so reassuring and explained every detail for me. She is an absolute star. Dr Luke and the team were also very reassuring throughout the procedure, I felt in very good hands from start to end. Thanks for taking such good care of me

Australian Cardiovascular Specialists

Reception and Dr Pang were very professional and personable. My problem has been when trying to contact the practice by phone. Multiple times, Ihave been left hanging on untill the call times out. Or pushed back to the website when I really need to talk to a human for my situation. Please answer your phones in a timely and helpful manner.

Minerva Fertility

Dr Lighten is the most knowledgeable fertility Dr I have ever come across. I struggled to conceive for over 5 years, saw multiple other drs who couldn't give me any answers. Long story short, I am now pregnant with my 3rd child! 3 out of 3 successful embryo transfers! Dr Lighten and his team at Minerva Fertility are the best of the best!

The staff were very professional and friendly. They went above and beyond with the level of patient care I was shown and in doing so found an unrelated issue that required urgent medical attention for which I am very grateful they discovered when they did. Can not give enough praise to everyone I have encountered in my now 3 visits here.

Dr Dilshan Udayasiri

General Surgeon

I visited Dr. Dilshan because of the reoccurrence of my fistula which was treated 3 years back. Psychologically, it is a very challenging time but when I visited Dr. Dilshan, I got relaxed. He was very calm and happily responding to all the questions I had. It was a comforting experience.

Dr Hamish Shilton

General Surgeon

Hamish explained the procedure clearly and what he was going to do during the operation. He also explained the recovery and what to expect during my hospital stay and when I came home. He has a lovely beside manner and always asked if I had any questions. Would highly recommend Hamish.
